The earlier note indicated the threat was on Snapchat. According to the police, it was posted on TikTok.

It was brought to our attention this morning that there was a threat made on Snapchat last night or early this morning. The police were notified and investigated. They located the student who made the post. Police deemed it a non-credible threat meaning there was no intent to follow through or cause harm. The police investigation is ongoing. Charges may be filed, if appropriate.
